Starting in the early 1910s, Ford Motor Company opened regional assembly plants near major American cities. These plants allowed the company to better serve its customers. Ford opened its Cambridge, Massachusetts, plant -- serving the Boston area -- in 1914. Car-assembly operations moved to a new plant in Somerville, Massachusetts, in 1926. The Cambridge plant later built Model AA trucks.
